The world premiere of the Batman Live arena tour takes place this month in Manchester.

Sound designer Simon Baker, who has previously worked on such live shows as King Lear, Othello and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, will be handling the show’s audio element, whilst James Brett, whose previous projects include Disney Worldwide, X-Men The Movie and Band of Brothers takes on the role of music composer.

"With the touring Batman Live show, we're bringing Batman's adventures to live audiences for the very first time," said Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment. "The idea that we're doing it with a production team this talented and with this much passion is thrilling."
